To: Chairman Bill Jones and members of the El Cerrito Redevelopment Agency
CC: Scott Hanin, Lori Trevino
Friends of the Cerrito Theater would like to commend the Redevelopment Agency/City Council for the determination and speed with which it has worked to ensure continuation of programming at the historic Cerrito Theater.
Stay tuned for new developments.
As some of you know, the current operators of the Cerrito Theater had been having financial difficulties and the City Council met number of times to resolve this issue. Last night we had a fantastic turnout of supporters at the meeting. There were 75-80 supporters and standing room only. The theater operators Fischers and their staff were present.
All 30 speakers expressed support of the theater. They spoke of the dedication and sacrifice the Fischers brought to create an unique gem at the Cerrito Theater. Many voiced how much they loved the unique programming that Will “the Thrill” Viharo has brought to the Cerrito. All speakers wanted the theater to continue in the same way.
